Orthopaedic Shoe Maker Master HFP

Master orthopaedic shoemakers usually run an orthopaedic footwear workshop or work in a management position in one. Their services include the manufacture of customised and standard orthopaedic shoes, orthopaedic shoe inserts and adjustments as well as orthotic or prosthetic inner shoes. Master orthopaedic shoemakers provide expert advice to people who are temporarily or permanently unable to walk fully. They address the individual problems of patients and work with them to find the best solution in terms of the functionality of the aid, material, colour and design. In addition to in-depth knowledge of anatomy, pathology and biomechanics, the customer consultation also requires empathy and psychological skills.
